It is estimated that, in the United States, around 20 percent of
all Police-reported road crashes involve driver distraction as a
contributing factor. This figure increases if other forms of
inattention are considered. Evidence (reviewed in this volume)
suggests that the situation is similar in other countries and that
driver distraction and inattention are even more dangerous as
contributing factors in crashes than drug and alcohol intoxication.
Having a solid evidence-base from which to develop injury
countermeasures is a cornerstone of road-safety management. This
book adds to the accumulating evidence-base on driver distraction
and inattention. With 24 chapters by 52 authors from more than 10
countries, it provides important new perspectives on the definition
and meaning of driver distraction and inattention, the mechanisms
that characterize them, the measurement of their effects,
strategies for mitigating their effects, and recommendations for
further research. The goal of this book is to inspire further
research and countermeasure development to prevent and mitigate the
potentially adverse effects of driver distraction and driver
inattention, and, in doing so, to save lives.
